Lyrics

Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me, the one and only?
But when you're down in your time of need
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me
Just think again, 'cause I won't need your love anymore!
You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but, you didn't know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself, (ooh) "I just don't need her now" (ooh)
But I know you'll soon discover (whoa)
You're never satisfied with any other
Someday, ooh, someday
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey, hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You shoulda known
Believe me, I'm not pretending (ohh)
It's not hard to predict (ohh) this ending now (ohh)
'Cause I know you'll soon discover (ohh)
You're needing me in spite of all the others
Someday, ooh, someday
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey, hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday, ooh, someday
(Ooh, yeah) one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
You're gonna be the one for, ooh, yeah
Someday, hey, hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me the one and only
But when you're down in your time of need
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause (the Price sisters)
(Get ready to sing!) I won't need your love anymore!
Someday, ooh, someday
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
(Someday, someday, ah, yeah)
Someday, hey, hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby
I'm the one who's keeping score (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You're gonna be wishing for me, ooh
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, hey my baby (someday, hey, hey)
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby
I'm the one who's keeping score (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Someday, someday, some, some, someday
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby
I'm the one who's keeping score (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The one you gave (someday, hey, hey) away will be the only one
Boy, you're gonna pay 'cause baby (someday!)
I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday!
Thank you
Am gonna do a song now that
I always loved as a little girl, it always makes me cry
And I wanna sing it for you guys tonight
